Debug Footer Analysis
Analysis of debug footer implementation
Debug Footer Analysis & Log Compaction Guide
Summary
✅ Debug Footer Status: WORKING
The debug footer implementation is fully functional and not broken. It's simply not showing because the admin check is failing.
🎯 Root Cause
Your username (duyet) doesn't match the admin username being passed (or no admin username is set).
Part 1: Debug Footer Architecture
How It Works
The debug footer is appended to messages for admin users only. This prevents exposing internal debug info to regular users.
Code Flow
1. Telegram Transport (apps/telegram-bot/src/transport.ts)
2. Debug Footer Formatter (apps/telegram-bot/src/debug-footer.ts)
3. Admin Check (apps/telegram-bot/src/transport.ts:682-687)
4. DebugContext Population (Two Paths)
Path A: HANDLE (Direct Chat Loop)
Path B: RPC (Durable Alarm)
The buildDebugContext() function (line 1099-1185) constructs:
routingFlow: Empty (no routing in direct chat)totalDurationMs: Total execution timemetadata: Model, trace ID, token usagesteps: Execution chain (thinking → tool calls → results)
Part 2: Why Footer Isn't Showing
Your Current State
From your logs:
But the admin check requires:
Solution: Set Admin Username
Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended)
Then create TelegramContext with:
Option 2: Check Webhook Handler
Verify apps/telegram-bot/src/index.ts or your webhook handler passes adminUsername:
Part 3: Log Compaction Solution
Problem
Your logs have redundant "State updated" entries:
Repeated 100+ times per request → noise.
Solution: New Log Compactor
Added packages/observability/src/log-compactor.ts with:
Usage Examples
Example 1: Your current verbose log
Becomes:
Example 2: Compact debug context
Part 4: Dead Code Analysis
✅ No Dead Code Found
Searched for:
debugFooterreferences (active in all code paths)formatDebugFooter(exported and used in transport)- Footer-related refactoring (none detected)
All footer code is live and functional.
The two code paths are:
- HANDLE (cloudflare-agent.ts:2770-2980) - Fire-and-forget with alarm
- RPC (cloudflare-agent.ts:1280-1400) - Synchronous RPC call
Both paths set ctx.debugContext before calling transport.send() or transport.edit().
Part 5: Implementation Checklist
To Enable Debug Footer
- Set
TELEGRAM_ADMIN_USERNAMEto your username - Redeploy:
bun run deploy:telegram - Test: Send message as admin user
To Use Log Compaction
Example Logger Setup
Part 6: Architecture Notes
Debug Context Structure
Why Direct Chat Has Empty routingFlow
Recent refactoring removed routing/workflow paths:
- Line 836: "Direct chat calls only - routing removed"
buildDebugContext()setsroutingFlow: []- Footer falls back to minimal format (duration + model + trace)
This is correct behavior - there's no routing to display.
Summary
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Debug Footer Code | ✅ Active, working |
| Dead Code | ✅ None found |
| Admin Check | ⚠️ Failing (missing adminUsername) |
| Log Verbosity | 🆕 Compactor added |
Next Step: Set TELEGRAM_ADMIN_USERNAME environment variable and redeploy to see the footer!
